Cross contamination risk mitigation

Dedicated 40,000 SQFT Building for
Stainless Steel Fabrication

40,000 sq ft building engineered to protect stainless steel from cross-contamination and quality loss.

  • No carbon steel allowed in our dedicated stainless facility
  • Weld prep and grinding areas isolated from clean assembly zones
  • Stainless-only welding stations eliminate carbon particulate exposure
  • Stainless abrasives and tooling segregated from carbon use

Why it matters: Cross-contamination is a critical risk in stainless steel fabrication—one that many job shops overlook. Our environment is built to protect finish quality, corrosion resistance, and compliance from the start. Whether you’re in pharma, food, water, or OEM systems, this level of discipline ensures your product performs—and passes inspection in critical stainless steel fabrications.
